Nepal PM to travel to America to attend UN meeting

Nepal Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli will visit to New York to attend 79th United Nations General Assembly. Oli will be accompanied by Minister for Foreign Affairs Arzu Rana Deuba and other high-level government officials.

This will be his first foreign visit after becoming the prime minister on July 15. Earlier, Oli was supposed to travel to Thailand to participate in the BIMSTEC Summit but it was cancelled due to the political development in Thailand. Nepal, as a chair of SAARC, is preparing to organize a meeting of SAARC foreign ministers but it is unlikely to happen due to couple of reasons.
